Re: Four new Tom Ford Private Blend musks - anyone try them?

I've sniffed all of them. My favorite so far is the Jasmine Musk. I believe there will be a special coffret containing all of them coming out for the holiday season - it will be a pretty pricey presentation, but you can always plead with Santa.

Don't cha love santa I've tried Urban Musk and all the others but Urban Musk was the only one that really stood out in my mind the others were been there smelled that but the amber musk combo in UM was great

Re: Four new Tom Ford Private Blend musks - anyone try them?

I tried all four and the only one I found remotely interesting was Urban Musk, the others are about as meaningless as his chemical miasma called White Patchouli. Too much, too soon. For some reason Tom Ford, who has run out of interesting things to say, just keeps blabbering on. Someone needs to take away his coke.

LMAO. I'm a TF fanboy and I could not agree more

I tired these the other day and frankly I do agree they have run out of ideas. The really need to slow it down. At this rate they will have a different TF fragrance for each day of the year in no time.

Re: Four new Tom Ford Private Blend musks - anyone try them?

The link above has 3.4 oz. bottles of private blends for $260.00. I've seen the 8.3 oz. and 1.7 oz. bottles at Neimans, But haven't seen the 3.4 oz. before.

Ah I see, I didn't catch that, I immediately assumed you were talking about the 8.3 oz since in my mind there were only two sizes available... now three I guess.

One thing to keep in mind with the 8.3 oz size is there is NO atomizer, and it has a VERY large opening at the top of the bottle. You CANNOT refill the 1.7 oz size because the bottles do NOT open. So you will pretty much need a separate perfume atomizer and a pipette for transferring the fragrance if you get the 8.3 oz size.

Re: Four new Tom Ford Private Blend musks - anyone try them?

I tried them all recently. They have them now at Holts in Canada. I thought White Suede & Musk Pure were both okay. I can't really remember how they smelt like but they didn't smell musky, more clean/fabric softener than anything.

Urban Musk was disappointing, there's something fume-y about it, like one part Bulgari Black or maybe Tar/Skai from the CdG Synthetic Series. The Black Plum was very prominent, sort of reminded me a tiny bit of Noir de Noir. It sounds interesting but it really wasn't. Oddly, my favorite was Jasmine Musk but it was too feminine and flowery. Kind of reminded me of Carnel Flower from Frederic Malle. They both share similar notes of jasmine and ylang-ylang.

The only one that I dare mention is the Urban Musk. That was created by Yann Vasnier. When I was telling him about what I thought of UM and what it's smell was like, he got the giggles. He told who the other perfumers are that created the rest of the Musk range, but he swore me to secrecy because Estee Lauder are not making it public who the perfumers are, for some strange reason.

Fine fragrance is alive; it breathes, unfolds and unravels with each passing hour....

That is strange - and a bit ridiculous. Why would they keep this secret, when the noses for the other Private Blends have been made public?

I didn't know Vasnier did the Urban Musk (the one of the 4 I have not smelled yet).
